the owner was super nice and helped me a lot. the town is the ledge that place to stay to head to the National Parc, for everybody who doesn’t like touristy towns. It is super calm, there is a fruit shop and supermarket around the corner. the bus stop is right in front of the house. From there you got three buses a day to get to the nacional parc and many buses to Resende.

The staff; everyone (and especially the owner) was very nice, kind and helpful. We were the first guests of this hostel (so that's why there are no other reviews yet and everything was brand new), but we felt very welcome right away. The owner contacted us before our stay to say hi, we got a free upgrade to the appartment-rooms (although the dorm also looked very nice and clean) and he was available for every question. We really liked this place and we would love to come back!
